How various greens in faint degrees

Tinge the tall groups of various trees;

While, careless of the changing year,

The pine cerulean, never sere,

Towers distinguish’d from the rest,

And proudly vaunts her winter vest.

Within some whispering osier isle,

Where Glynn’s low banks neglected smile,

And each trim meadow still retains

The wintry torrent’s oozy stains,
